Jacqueline Powell's Review Sourced from Google
My income taxes were more complexthan usual this year. Tyler Powers assisted me by going above and beyond to acquire the needed information. This was especially appreciated as I was supporting a very ill spouse at the same time as the tax returns were due.Tyler was also kind and reassuring and got the job done before the deadline.
